Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 И҆ ца́рствова седекі́а сы́нъ і҆ѡсі́инъ вмѣ́стѡ і҆ехоні́и сы́на і҆ѡакі́мова, є҆го́же поста́ви навꙋходоно́соръ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй ца́рствовати во і҆ꙋде́и.
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
2 И҆ не послꙋ́ша то́й и҆ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ и҆ лю́дїе землѝ слове́съ гдⷭ҇нихъ, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃а рꙋко́ю і҆еремі́иною.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to Yahweh’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
3 И҆ посла̀ ца́рь седекі́а і҆ѡаха́ла сы́на селемі́ина и҆ софо́нїю сы́на массе́а жерца̀ ко і҆еремі́и прⷪ҇ро́кꙋ, глаго́лѧ: моли́сѧ за ны̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ.
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to Yahweh our God for us.”
4 І҆еремі́а же свобо́денъ прихожда́ше и҆ прохожда́ше средѣ̀ гра́да, не введо́ша бо є҆го̀ во хра́минꙋ темни́чнꙋю.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison.
5 И҆ си́ла фараѡ́нѧ и҆зы́де и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта, и҆ слы́шавше халде́є ѡ҆бле́гшїи і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ слꙋ́хъ и҆́хъ, ѿстꙋпи́ша ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма.
5 Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко і҆еремі́и гл҃ѧ:
6 Then Yahweh’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
7 та́кѡ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: та́кѡ рече́ши царю̀ і҆ꙋ́динꙋ, посла́вшемꙋ къ тебѣ̀ вопроси́ти мѧ̀: сѐ, си́ла фараѡ́нѧ, и҆зше́дшаѧ ва́мъ на по́мощь, возврати́тсѧ па́ки до землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ,
7 “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
8 и҆ возвратѧ́тсѧ халде́є и҆ повою́ютъ гра́дъ се́й, и҆ во́змꙋтъ є҆го̀ и҆ пожгꙋ́тъ є҆го̀ ѻ҆гне́мъ.
8 The Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’
9 Ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: не прельща́йте дꙋ́шъ свои́хъ, глаго́люще: ѿходѧ́ще ѿи́дꙋтъ ѿ на́съ халде́є: ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѿи́дꙋтъ.
9 “Yahweh says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart.
10 И҆ а҆́ще побїе́те всю̀ си́лꙋ халде́євъ вою́ющихъ на вы̀, и҆ ѡ҆ста́нꙋтъ нѣ́цыи ꙗ҆́звени, кі́йждо на мѣ́стѣ свое́мъ, сі́и воста́нꙋтъ и҆ пожгꙋ́тъ гра́дъ се́й ѻ҆гне́мъ.
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
11 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ взы́де си́ла халде́йска ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, ѿ лица̀ си́лы фараѡ́ни,
11 When the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
12 и҆зы́де і҆еремі́а и҆з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма и҆тѝ въ зе́млю венїамі́ню, є҆́же кꙋпи́ти ѿтꙋ́дꙋ посредѣ̀ люді́й.
12 then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people.
13 Внегда́ же бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ во вратѣ́хъ венїамі́нихъ, и҆ (бы́сть) та́мѡ человѣ́къ, ᲂу҆ негѡ́же ѡ҆бита̀ сарꙋі́а сы́нъ селемі́инъ, сы́на а҆на́нїина, и҆ взѧ̀ і҆еремі́ю, глаго́лѧ: ко халде́ємъ ты̀ бѣжи́ши.
13 When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
14 И҆ речѐ і҆еремі́а: лжа̀, не ко халде́ємъ а҆́зъ бѣгꙋ̀. И҆ не послꙋ́ша є҆гѡ̀. И҆ взѧ̀ сарꙋі́а і҆еремі́ю и҆ приведѐ є҆го̀ ко кнѧзє́мъ.
14 Then Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans.” But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15 И҆ разгнѣ́вашасѧ кнѧ̑зи на і҆еремі́ю и҆ би́ша є҆го̀, и҆ посла́ша є҆го̀ въ до́мъ і҆ѡнаѳа́на книго́чїѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й сотвори́ша хра́миною темни́чною.
15 The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
16 И҆ прїи́де і҆еремі́а въ до́мъ рва̀ и҆ въ хере́тъ, и҆ сѣ́де тꙋ̀ дни̑ мнѡ́ги.
16 When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
17 И҆ посла̀ седекі́а ца́рь и҆ призва̀ є҆го̀, и҆ вопроша́ше є҆го̀ ца́рь ѡ҆́тай, а҆́ще є҆́сть сло́во ѿ гдⷭ҇а; И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆еремі́а: є҆́сть. И҆ речѐ: въ рꙋ́цѣ царѧ̀ вавѷлѡ́нска пре́данъ бꙋ́деши.
17 then Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from Yahweh?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18 И҆ речѐ і҆еремі́а царю̀: чи́мъ преѡби́дѣхъ тѧ̀ и҆ ѻ҆́троки твоѧ̑ и҆ лю́ди сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ вдае́ши мѧ̀ въ до́мъ темни́чный;
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
19 и҆ гдѣ̀ сꙋ́ть проро́цы ва́ши прорица́вшїи ва́мъ, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ не прїи́детъ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй на ва́съ и҆ на зе́млю сїю̀;
19 Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?
20 нн҃ѣ же послꙋ́шай, молю́тисѧ, го́споди мо́й, царю̀, да паде́тъ моле́нїе моѐ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ: и҆ не посыла́й мѧ̀ па́ки въ до́мъ і҆ѡнаѳа́на книго́чїѧ, да не ᲂу҆мрꙋ̀ та́мѡ.
20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
21 И҆ повелѣ̀ ца́рь, и҆ вверго́ша є҆го̀ во хра́минꙋ темни́чнꙋю, и҆ даѧ́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ хлѣ́бъ є҆ди́нъ на де́нь и҆звнѣ̀, и҆дѣ́же пекꙋ́тъ, до́ндеже сконча́шасѧ хлѣ́бы и҆з̾ гра́да. И҆ сѣдѧ́ше і҆еремі́а во дворѣ̀ темни́чнѣмъ.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
